The Day People Left ()

Overview

When life in cities began to change due to Covid-19 and people were forced to stay at home, then we saw videos on social networks, of animals timidly exploring empty cities began to circulate. These videos became very popular, probably because man has become so alienated from nature, that the presence of animals in his own space highlights this disconnection and creates a powerful image that breaks the barrier between the constructed and the natural environment. Environmentalist, Bill McKibben commented 'how much we need such images that will renew us, heal us and stimulate us. We need a space that will allow us to rethink how we connect with the natural world, but also with each other.'
